Ion channels reset to restore resting potential, maintained by the sodium-potassium pump, until the next stimulus.
During resting potential, ion channels reset, and the sodium-potassium pump restores and maintains the resting potential until the next stimulus.
| Front | Resting potential ( action potential formation) |
|---|---|
| Back | Ion channels reset sodium potassium pump returns membrane to its resting potential and maintains it until the membrane becomes excited by a stimulus |
